we have given cost function which is exponential
v(t)=20000(0.86)^t.

we need to find the cost of a car at time t initially and after 13 years .

we need to plug t=0 and t=13 in v(t).


v(0)=20000(0.86)^0=$20000.

and
v(13)=20000(0.86)^(13)=$2815.20.

so the value of car is initially $20000 and after 13 years it was $2815.20.
